she did not want to be rescuedonly to be loved unconditionally,maybe it was the blueness

of the sky, the water, or his eyes

but she saw hope in all of it

and she held on,

her hand tightly clasped into his

This is Part 4 of my fictional urban poems, now taking place on the Brooklyn Bridge promenade, featured in the first photo. I enjoyed taking these photos this weekend on such a beautiful early Autumn day. The promenade is renowned for romantic walks by the water, while admiring New York City's skyline. In the second photo, you can see the Statue of Liberty in the distance. In the third photo, the Freedom Tower is on the far left.

And here is the picturesque Brooklyn Bridge, built in 1883 in the neo-Gothic architectural style. You can actually walk on the bridge all the way across to Manhattan. A bridge can be so symbolic, and being there sparked an idea for this next poem in my urban series. You can find my other urban poems in this series at City Streets, City Streets: Part 2, and City Streets: Part 3. Enjoy and have a wonderful week ahead!

Cool doing an urban series. Love the photos. You live in a place full of wonderful sights. I love the courage she had to take that walk into something new and really like that she didnt want to be rescued, just loved unconditionally. What we all long for. Great write.

nice...i love bridges...there's such deep symbolic in them as well...learning to let go... not always easy but i like how you capture the sun, blue water, mirroring in his eyes and the hope... i walked manhattan bridge with bri into chinatown with the trains running next to the pedestrian path and smell of steel...it was a beautiful clear day as well..
